    green water

    Water, be it salt or fresh contain many living organisms. UV sterilizers kill them. They can be used to combat and kill harmful, waterborne bacteria, viruses, fungi, and small protozoans. The UV unit also helps control algae blooms by killing waterborne algae. However in a reef system many...

    Whats the best way to convert from Tap water to r/o water??

    You're welcome. If Lonzo (the owner) is there tell'm Gene sent you. LOL. Probably won't give you a discount though. LOL You can set'm up either way or with a shut-off float switch from a fresh water supply. Personally I think a 3 stage is more than adequate but some people like the 5. Forgot to...

    Whats the best way to convert from Tap water to r/o water??

    If you're looking for some place local to get some water before you purchase a unit check out Aquarium Paradise in Lakewood 253-584-3474. With your regularly scheduled water changes your tank should be tap water free soon...

    green water

    "Green" is not typically seen unless something "green" produces it. The reason I asked is because Calupra, Valonia, and other types of green algae contain Chlorophyll which can leach from the dieing algae. Like DonW said, water changes and it will pass...Good luck.

    SPS Very near surface

    Many corals are exposed during periods of low tides. Fragging them when they hit the surface is a good idea if you want to keep them high in the tank. It really depends on where you want them and how fast you want them to grow...

    32 gallon custom rimless in progress.

    Looking nice! I would consider first and foremost your intended inhabitants need for flow as opposed to making an arbitrary decision on flow just to have allot of turbulence. You can always blow off your rock or vacuum the substrate to keep detritus suspended as part of routine maintenance...

    Filterless aquarium systems?

    With well established, plentiful live rock the need for any type of filtration is eliminated even a skimmer.

    Nitrate problems

    Moving the tank is not working in your favor but life must go on and we gotta do what we gotta do. Sorry about the car man. My wife was rear ended 3 days before Christmas causing about six thousand dollars damage to our 2007 Nissan with only 4500 miles on it...
